*** UPDATE ***
Returned from a few days away yesterday to be welcomed by the DWP decision letter.
Much to my utter amazement, I've been awarded lower daily living allowance. However, I just scraped through with 11 points and nothing for Mobility. Reading the Report however, I'm a little confused - her statement in the report was:
'Mixing with other people' (scored out of 8) : 0 ' You can engage with other people unaided'. YET, in the My Decision section, it states 'You said you have difficulties communicating verbally and engaging with other people face to face' - this smacks at *you said* is treated as 'you said but we think you're lying'!!
The report: 'You said you have difficulties planning and following journeys'. No I didn't!
This has been awarded for a set time, in this case 10 years.
Question. I've had a job working from home for 3.4 years. It's sitting at a desk using the phone and laptop with tight time constraints This has become increasingly more painful this summer and therefore I have had to give up this job. Should I contact DWP and advise them of this? My partner seems to think if I ask for a re-consideration of the decision that I could lose out completely. Does that happen?
Thanks for reading,

PIP isn't about not being able to work, people claim PIP and work. Whether or not you should have scored points for engaging with others and communicating will totally depend on how your conditions affect you.If you disagree with the decision you have 1 month from that date to request the MR. Most MR decisions remain the same but it is possible to either lose what you already have or be awarded more points for a higher award. No one on an internet forum can tell you if there's any risks to your current award by requesting this MR.I'd advise you to get some face to face advice before requesting the MR. https://advicelocal.uk/
